Why Should Everyone Learn Python Today?

  • November 26, 2021
  • Blog, Coding, Coding for girls, Digital Literacy, Python

Everyone should learn Python. According to research by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Spectrum, Python is the most popular programming language in 2021. 

It is the language of YouTube, of the Google search engine, and much more. 

This is not a surprise as there are many benefits to the language.

Why Learn Python? Why is it so popular?

First of all, Python is a “fourth generation” language, meaning that it consists of statements that are similar to statements in the human language, making it easy to learn. 

Python is fast, widely used, and open-source, which makes it a very relevant skill to learn for anyone – but especially pre-teens and teens who can’t get enough of their devices. 

Why get your kids interested in learning Python?

When we think about activities that our kids could engage in, we consider the skills they will learn, as well as the opportunities it could give them. 

Well, learning Python fulfills both of those things. Some of their favorite apps, like Instagram, Netflix and Spotify were built with Python, so there’s a point of interest and ambition that could come attached to this. 

Learn Python: Future Career Opportunities 

Let’s go beyond fun and games! 

Python has the potential of helping young people to build remarkable careers and it is easy to grasp for first-time programmers.

Will your kids learn Python at University? Probably, so great to get a head start. This is because it is actually the top introductory language taught in US universities, as well as in Europe.

It is one of the first computer languages you learn at University, whether you are joining an engineering, computer science, bioengineering, or indeed a business department. 

Indeed, Python is a very helpful skill for Business-related jobs such as management, finance, and economics. 

Columbia University has a course specially dedicated to this purpose. They not only introduce the language but also go into the business applications of Python!

That is why it is often said that Python conveys literacy in the digital age. On the more techy side, some of the most sought job profiles for Python include: 

 

  • Python Developer
  • Software Engineer
  • Research Analyst
  • Data Analyst
  • Software Developer

 

If you’re looking for more – here are 5 interesting projects that could gauge the interest of our kids for the future — all using Python:
